The Boston Black Panther Party (BPP) chapter operated a free breakfast program that started with 50 school children on school days in Spring of 1969. The Tremont Methodist Church on Tremont Street in Boston donated space for the program. BPP members prepared a breakfast menu of eggs, bacon, orange juice, milk, toast, and vitamins. They also shared information about the BPP along with African-American history. Raising revolutionary black nationalists had been one of the goals of the program as well as the goal of feeding hungry children.
